Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In which Eddie Murphy plays a stockbroker distracted from making his mint by a seven-year-old daughter (Yara Shahidi) who won't give up her security blanket (she lets out a piercing scream every time it's taken from her grasp).
Then he discovers that said blanket allows him access to his daughter's imaginary friends, who also happen to give out stock tips, and suddenly the bad dad is spending quality time with his neglected kid. It's most insufferable when Murphy does his funny-voice routines, and we have to watch his daughter pretend to crack up. Thomas Haden Church as a native American with a line in pseudomystical guff provides the tiniest comic relief. How would it be if Eddie Murphy quit making trashy, ingratiating comedies and grew up? Imagine that.
